The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Mykel Williams, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Mykel Williams’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Mykel Williams has the ideal size and length to project seamlessly as a defensive end in a base 4-3 system. His explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is impressive, and while his pass-rush arsenal is relatively raw, he’s capable of winning as a pass rusher on stunts and with speed-to-power.
Williams pairs his elite physical attributes with a red-hot motor and an assignment-sound, role-disciplined imprint in run defense. Williams could be a player who starts slow in the NFL as a pass-rush producer, but he has tremendous growth potential.
He can be weaponized on stunts right away with his burst, power, and hip flexibility, and his high floor as a run defender insulates his profile with additional security.
Mykel Williams’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Williams landed in Round 1 at pick No. 23 to the Green Bay Packers. James Fragoza has this to say:
Mykel Williams has solid potential as a pass rusher, though he might not evolve into a double-digit sack producer. That’s perfectly fine for the Packers, who are after dependable depth at the position and a possible future starter.
And in Max Dorsey’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Williams landed with the Baltimore Ravens with pick No. 27 in the first round:
The Baltimore Ravens don’t have a lot of holes on their roster, but could use a good pass rusher, so they select Mykel Williams here.
Like many pass rushers in this draft, Williams has a very high ceiling due to his freakish athleticism and overall traits. He also produced a decent bit in college, racking up 14 sacks in three seasons at Georgia. His size concerns some, but I think he’ll wind up being a solid pro.
